Bridgepoint Luncheons presents, "Faith and History Still Live in the Nation's Capital" with special guest, author and historian, Jane Hampton Cook

National media commentator and award-winning author Jane Hampton Cook brings history and biographies to life, making them memorable and relevant to today's news, current events, politics, issues of faith, and modern-day life. Jane is the author of seven books, including her newest,American Phoenix.
 

Jane served former President George W. Bush as a webmaster for five years, including three in the Texas governor's office and two years in the White House as Deputy Director of Internet News Services.  Her enthusiasm for history skyrocketed when she discovered that writing historical stories for whitehouse.gov were among the site's most popular pages. The experience cemented her decision to passionately pursue U.S. history topics as an author.
